Black Obsidian Crystal

Black obsidian is natural volcanic glass, formed when lava cools fast, and it has been used for protection and clear-seeing for a very long time. At Solacely it is organised by what it helps you do: hold a boundary, ground yourself, cut through the story you keep telling, and release what you have been holding. It is a root-chakra stone with an honest, no-flinch quality that many people find steadying.

How to choose your form

For all-day protection, wear a bracelet or pendant. For sitting with something difficult, a tumble in the pocket or a polished sphere on the desk works well. To guard a room or a doorway, choose a carved figurine or a polished obsidian mirror. Start with where you feel you need it most, the stone is the same in every form.
